TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Farewell: Stephen Colbert signed off from his CBS perch last night after a dazzling 11-year run marked by his relentless comic critiques of Donald Trump. Here is his opening monologue. Can’t help but think Colbert left the door open for a return late-night engagement elsewhere because he said, “Tonight is our final show from the Ed Sullivan Theater.” The itals are mine....Weekend Watch: The final episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Like many of you, I didn’t (couldn’t) stay up to watch the end of an era in real time and will catch the finale in its entirety this holiday weekend....Seriously? An article in the American Thinker suggests moving the nation’s capital further inland. The preferred location is Lebanon, Kansas, which sits in the exact geographical center of the nation, 260 miles west of Kansas City...While a heated debate simmers about whether Trump has lost control of the Senate, I’m certain he’s lost control of his hair. DC’s notorious spring humidity has settled in over the White House wrecking havoc with The Donald’s coif leaving it, straw-like, limp and unkempt. Here’s a Wikimedia Commons compendium of Trump’s hairdos over the years and all of them are better than what’s plopped on his POTUS dome now...Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend all. We’ll be back Tuesday....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Today's Headlines From the Right

With Colbert Gone, Can We Start the Clock on Kimmel?

Colbert will probably hit the lefty podcast circuit, maybe write a book, and keep providing fuel for a barrage of wildly inaccurate hot takes about why he's off the air. Jimmy Kimmel is still polluting the airwaves with bad political cheerleading theater, and wasting no time reminding everyone how awful he is.

The End of Stephen Colbert’s Late-Night Abortion Advocacy

source: National Review

By Kathryn Jean Lopez: What to Expect When You Are Forced to Be Expecting — that was “the new pregnancy guide” Stephen Colbert joked Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was issuing after oral arguments in the Dobbs case.

CBS and Its Colbert Apocalypse

Letterman Sowed the Seeds of Late-Night TV’s Demise

source: PJ Media

Near the end of his run on The Late Show, Letterman wandered more and more into partisan grumpy old man stuff.
